Readers' Ultimate Tiara Collection: Pick Your Other Material!

All the standard tiara stones, the gems you see most frequently represented (according to me) in big collections, have been covered in our little voting round ups: diamonds (in many forms), pearls, emeralds, rubies, sapphires, aquamarines, amethysts, turquoise. But there's more! Unusual materials, other colors and types of stones, and so on. They aren't as common, so one category will take care of it:

Pick your favorite "other material" tiara!

This is a fun category, I think. Well, I had fun putting it together, at least! We've got classic sparkly gemstones just not covered yet, metals that take a central decorative role, and unique opaque materials on display. And I included colored diamonds as well, since only white diamonds have received any love so far. Here's a brief selection, but as always the field is open for more:

Note: Yes, we will have a category for tiaras made in the past few decades. (I tell you this because there is some overlap.) Also, don't forget that many of these names are links to see more info or the tiara in use.

Ready to vote for your favorite?
-Vote for one tiara in the comments. (If
you're mentioning multiple tiaras in your comment, indicate which one
gets your vote, or I will just count the first applicable one. One
comment vote per person, please.)
-I will also count the number of "likes" or up arrows on those comments, so you can vote that way too.
-Non-royal tiaras and tiaras that no longer exist are fair game too.
